Example 1: javascript insert item into array

var index=1;

//insert "white" at index 1
colors.splice(index, 0, "white");   //colors =  ["red", "white", "blue"]

// use splice to insert element
// arr.splice(index, numItemsToDelete, item); 
var list = ["hello", "world"];

const insert = (arr, index, newItem) => [
  // part of the array before the specified index
  ...arr.slice(0, index),
  // inserted item
  newItem,
  // part of the array after the specified index
  ...arr.slice(index)
]

const result = insert(items, 1, 10)

console.log(result)
// [1, 10, 2, 3, 4, 5]
